Utter nonsense. No evidence of previous form that this will be the case. Froome is a pure engine, even on hills. He cannot jump on the pedals and accelerate away. Surely he would have shown this in at least one stage in the Vuelta if it was the case? All he could do was follow like a sheep.

I'm curious. Do you now rate Froomes chances greater than Andys?

What evidence do you want? The Vuelta where everything Froome did was fight against spasm-like post Tour and Olympics fatigue? Pure engine is Ivan Bassо or Levi Leipheimer. Froome is a very explosive climber based on the Tour and the 2011 Vuelta. He could drop Valverde and Contador on one of the hilly finishes. At the expense of a 'pure engine', ah?

Froome will not beat Andy and Contador if they are all on form and that there is no accident, if he does i will change my username to Airstream is the greatest.

It isn't honest 'cos in case Froome wins you will try to justify this with a bad form. Bad form is a thing one can try justify anything.
Well ok based on what you do rate Froome lower? You are even being quite sarcastic to me as I see.

Was Froome descried in any fear? I didn't notice that. Even knowing he was relatively weak he tried to drop Contador on Gallina. So I think he will try.
